+.TH pilot 1 "Version 1.1"
+.SH Name
+pilot \- simple file system browser in the style of the Alpine Composer
+.SH Syntax
+.B pilot
+[
+.I options
+] [
+.I directory
+]
+.SH Description
+\fIPilot\fR is a simple, display-oriented file system browser based on
+the Alpine message system composer. As with Alpine, commands are
+displayed at the bottom of the screen, and context-sensitive
+help is provided.
+.PP
+\fIPilot\fR displays the current working directory at the top of the
+screen. The directory's contents are displayed in columns of file name,
+file size pairs. Names that are directories are indicated by the name
+"(dir)" in place of the file size. The parent of the current working
+directory is indicated by the file name ".." and size of "(parent dir)".
+File names that are symbolic links to other files are displayed with a
+file size of "--".
+.PP
+Several basic file manipulation commands are provided: Delete, Rename,
+Copy, View, Launch, and Edit. The "View" and "Edit" commands operate on
+text files only. By default, the "View" command displays files
+using "alpine -F", but will respect the environment variable PAGER if set.
+The "Edit" command simply invokes "pico". The "Launch" command provides
+a convenient way to either execute the selected file or to run an
+application on it.
+.PP
+More specific help is available in \fIpilot\fR's online help.
+.SH Options
+.IP \fB-a\fR
+Display all files including those beginning with a period (.).
+.IP \fB-f\fR
+Use function keys for commands. This option supported only in
+conjunction with UW Enhanced NCSA telnet.
+.IP \fB-g\fR
+Enable "Show Cursor" mode. Cause cursor to be positioned
+before the current selection rather than placed at the lower left of the
+display.
+.IP \fB-j\fR
+Enable "Goto" command. This enables the command to permit explicitly
+telling \fIpilot\fR which directory to visit.
+.IP \fB-m\fR
+Enable mouse functionality. This only works when \fIpilot\fR is run from
+within an X Window System "xterm" window.
+.IP \fB-n\fIn\fB\fR
+The \-n\fIn\fR option enables new mail notification. The \fIn\fR
+argument is optional, and specifies how often, in seconds, your
+mailbox is checked for new mail. For example, \-n60 causes \fIpilot\fR
+to check for new mail once every minute. The default interval is 180
+seconds, while the minimum allowed is 30. (Note: no space between "n" and
+the number)
+.IP \fB-o\ \fIdir\fB\fR
+Sets operating directory. Only files within the specified directory are
+accessible and browsing is limited to the specified directory subtree.
+.IP \fB-v\fR
+Enable single vertical column display.
+.IP \fB-x\fR
+Disable keymenu at the bottom of the screen.
+.IP \fB-z\fR
+Enable ^Z suspension of \fIpilot\fR.
+.IP \fB-q\fR
+Termcap or terminfo definition for input escape sequences are used in
+preference to sequences defined by default. This option is only available
+if \fIpilot\fR was compiled with the TERMCAP_WINS define turned on.
+.IP \fB-setlocale_ctype\fR
+Do setlocale(LC_CTYPE) if available. Default is to not do this setlocale.
+.IP \fB-no_setlocale_collate\fR
+Do not do setlocale(LC_COLLATE). Default is to do this setlocale.
